Stroke Width Allows Negative Values


Recommended Posts

  • Drag the stroke width slider: Maximum is 100 points and minimum is 0 points¹
  • Select the point size field and scroll with the mouse.: Maximum is unlimited (OK), but minimum is also unlimited (a bug)

¹ Perhaps the minimum should be a hairline, or whatever the application's minimum line width is, as there is a button for No stroke.

Perhaps reserve -1 for indication of hairline, but deserves a button if it is implemented

Oh, I think a display of -1 for any purpose is a mistake. However, if like other applications the word "Hairline" could be used to indicate the thinnest line the device can render would be nice. Being able to type in a discreet number that is 3 digits past the decimal would also be good.

Indeed, Dave, I missed that.

 

If the "Hairline" moniker could be added as the smallest unit possible, that would be good. It's a special name/value much like the term "Registration" is for color.

I know this beta process is mostly a bug search, but while we're "voting" here, I emphatically agree with that. A proper Hairline stroke width setting is one of many advantages of Illustrator's historic rival, FreeHand.

 

It's also, by the way, one of the many important advantages I'm already noticing of DrawPlus over Affinity Designer.

A proper hairline as in DrawPlus X8 is better too, in that it's visible at any zoom level. I can enter a line width of 0.001 points in Affinity Designer, but if the line is not selected it is invisible unless I zoom in very close i.e. > 5000%
